•SCALE CONCEPT
Scale is the result of research and development based on the feedback from the SCOTT-
ODLO Racing Team searching for one of the lightest cross country racing frames in
the market.
SCOTT’s focus was not only on creating a lightweight frame, but one that was also a stiff and
easy to handle racing frame.

ENGLISHENGLISH
•BB STANDARDS/FD MOUNTING DETAILS
Scale is available for PressFit 92 Cartridges (PF92).
PF BB 92 has a housing width of 92mm (Scale 700) or 89.5mm plus a 2.5mm additional
washer (Scale 900, Scale Plus) with an inner diameter for the cartridges of 41mm.
•HEADSET OPTIONS
Scale features a tapered headset and fork steerer system to match with semi-integrated
headsets of the “50-61”mm range.
The steerers of those forks are
tapered from 1.5” to 1 1/8”.
This bigger diameter of the fork
steerer as well as on the frame
headtube helps to increase the
stiffness and handling of the bike.
Scale 700 (27.05”) FD
The front derailleur (FD) fixation for Scale 700 is a
direct mount system.
It is made for Shimano E-Type derailleurs or SRAM S3
assembly.
For Scale Plus the FD fixation is E-Type with 3mm
outboard to match with rear hub boost standard.
In addition it has an integrated chainguide assembled
on this fixation plate.
Scale 900 (29”) FD
The Front Derailleur (FD) clamp is with an inner
diameter of 34.9mm, the cable routing on the frame is
for “down route/pull - down swing” models.
IMPORTANT!
Please note that the maximum tightening torque on the FD clamp is 5Nm/44in/lbs.
A higher tightening torque might cause damage to the FD camp and/or frame tube!
Please also refer to the related manuals of the manufacturer of the FD.
•CHAINGUIDE
On some Scale 900 (29”) Carbon models you will find a chainguide system to support the
shifting performance when using 2 chainring cranksets.
3 different mounting plates are available to match the different sizes of the outer chainrings
(39/42 /4 4T).
Please note the max. tightening torque of 5Nm/44 in/lbs on the mounting screw of the plate.

Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD PRD 13636
Ritchey PRO Tapered PF 50-61mm 12.9mm PRD 13640
It is also possible to use forks with a standard 1 1/8” steerer tube when using a reducer
headset such as e.g.
Ritchey WCS Carbon Zero Tapered PF 50-61mm 18mm UD for 1 1/18" fork PRD 14860
•BB CABLE GUIDE/CABLE ROUTING
Scale features also an internal cable routing for front and rear derailleur.
A special BB Cable Guide was developed for Scale which is available as a spare part at the
SCOTT distribution with article number
for Scale 700
235285 Cableguide BB Scale 700 2014
and for Scale 900
219579 Cableguide BB Scale
Please note that those 2 cableguides are not interchangeable between the frame sizes.
Please note that the outer housing of the FD and RD cables will stop at the cable stop/port
on the front end of the down tube.
If you want to replace the cables, please follow these steps:
1. Remove the clip-in BB Guide in the BB housing
2. Push the inner cables from the front downward inside the downtube to the BB housing.
3. Pull them out of the related holes (RD on right side, FD on left side) on the BB housing.
4. Push them through the related holes on the BB Guide and clip the BB Guide into the
BB housing
5. Follow the standard set up and assembly instructions of the shifting system manufacturer
for final adjustment of the shifting system

•SEATTUBE CLAMP
Please make sure to only use a seatclamp with an inner diameter of 34.9mm (Scale 700 /
Plus) or 38.2mm (Scale 900) and please note the maximum tightening torque on the fixing
bolt of 5Nm/44 in/lbs
•REPLACEABLE REAR DERAILLEUR HANGER
Scale uses the same replaceable rear derailleur hanger system (called IDS SL2) as SCOTT
Spark, Genius and Genius LT.
Depending on the different models you’ll find following options:
1. 142mm axle with RWS 142/12
This is available via the SCOTT distribution with:
219574 complete set of RWS 142/12
219577 right side replaceable RD hanger
2. 135mm axle with RWS 135/5
This is available via the SCOTT distribution with:
219572 complete set of RWS 135/5
219575 right side replaceable RD hanger
If you want to use another RWS standard SCOTT can also offer the following as after-market
parts for specific wheelsets via the SCOTT distribution:
219574 RWS 135/12 parts set
219576 right side replaceable RD hanger
•REAR DISC BRAKE MOUNT
The rear disc brake on Scale is Postmount
(PM) Standard on the left chainstay and
optimized for 160mm/6” rotors, so the
calliper can be mounted directly without
adapters on the Postmount fixation.
Please note Scale is designed for disc
rotors between 160mm/6” and 185mm/7”
(adapter needed from manufacturer of the
brake) only.
•FRONT FORK SET-UP/CHANGE OF FRONT FORK
For the set up of the front fork please use the fork specific manual attached to the bike.
We recommend using front forks with distance of
487mm/19.2” for Scale 700,
506mm/19.9” for Scale 900,
520mm/20.5” for Scale Plus
between mid of axle to top of crown, as this will not influence the geometry and alter
handling of the bike.

•WARRANTY
SCOTT bikes are made using the most innovative production and quality methods. They are
equipped with best components of well known parts suppliers.
Doing so SCOTT warrants its frames and swingarms for five years (subject to compliance
with maintenance ranges, see below) and SCOTT forks (provided it is a fork of SCOTT) for
two years for defects in material and/or workmanship in case of purchase of completely
assembled bikes.
This warranty of 5 years for the frames shall only be granted in case once a year a
maintenance service has been effected according to maintenance requirements as set forth
in this manual by an authorised SCOTT dealer.
The authorised SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected annual maintenance service by
stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not been effected the warranty of 5years
for the frame shall be reduced to 3 years.
Costs for maintenance and service have to be born by the owner of the SCOTT bike.
On Gambler, Voltage Fr and Volt-X the warranty period is limited to 2 years.
The warranty period starts at the day of purchase. This warranty is limited to the first buyer,
what means the first person who uses the bike and only with the use it was made for.
Furthermore, this warranty is limited to purchases via authorized SCOTT-dealers
The warranty is solely granted in case of purchase of a completely assembled bike to the
explicit exclusion of purchases of not completely assembled bikes.
In case of a warranty claim the decision to repair or to replace the defective part is up to
SCOTT. Non defective parts will only be replaced at the guarantee’s own expense.
Fair wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.
A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be found in the next chapter of this manual.
In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a protocol for the handing over of the
bike which will remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance and signature of the
consumer.
It is obligatory to show this protocol of handing over together with the defective part in case
of a warranty claim given that it provides evidence of purchase. Otherwise no warranty is
granted.
In principle, this warranty is granted worldwide. Claims must be made through an authorized
dealer, for information regarding the nearest dealer, write or call this company or the national
SCOTT distributor.
Normal wear, accident, neglect, abuse, improper assembly, improper maintenance by other
than an authorized dealer or use of parts or devices not consistent with the use originally
intended for the bicycle as sold are not covered by this warranty.
Hereby SCOTT grants a voluntarily manufacturer’s warranty. Additional entitlements
according to national warrant of merchantability are reserved.
For warranty info on the Fox Nude shock please refer to the attached manual of Fox Nude.
